I have been an Evans drummer ever since i picked up my first snare head, but this is THE BEST DECISION I HAVE MADE! I was having snare buzz trouble and it eliminated all of the buzz, and it was also very, very easy to tune, it took me 5 minutes total to change and tune this head. I would have to say the best batter head with it is the evans genera hd dry, perfect pair!

try another one

For many years I used Ludwig X-Thin as snare drum resonant head .... I LOVE THIS SOUND, is sensitive and clear ... perfect !!!

I paired this head with a Genera HD with great results on both a DW solid maple (Craviotto) and Ludwig Super-Sensitive knock-off steel snare. I like the Evans snare heads and will likely keep replacing my aged resonant heads with the Hazy 300.

My 3 snares all have this reso head in play and I couldnt be happier. Its the perfect thickness for the sound I wanted but could never quite get with either the thicker or the thinner heads by another manufacturer.Try it - - you will love it~!

MF asked me to write a review, so here it is. The Evans snare-side head is as good as any. The Level 360 technology doesn't really come into play here because snare-side heads are generally tensioned as tight as they go. I like the Evans G1 on the batter side, and got this because it matches, but truthfully the Evans snare-side is no better or no worse than snare-side heads by Remo or Aquarian.

At MF prices for a 14" snare side head, this a very good and cheap upgrade for your snare. Comparable Remo heads will do the same, but Evans is my preference. Definitely way better than the snare side head that came with my snare drum.

Wow... I can't believe how much more sensitive this head is compared to the Ambassador snare side that I have been using for years. I play metal but need something with high sensitivity to capture rolls, faster blast beats, and ghost notes. This head is completely responsive to every hit, large or small. Granted, I crank my heads up, and the snare is an older 13"x6" Black Panther (best snare drum on the planet, period), and I used a Genera Dry batter (so zero ring and all snare definition) but I'm so impressed by this head that I'm dying to replace the snare sides on my other two snares as well to see how they'll change.A word of warning though, this thing is merciless. It will not allow you to be sloppy. Any and all mistakes will stand out... LOL

I replaced 3 of my snares with these. They ranged from a 13x3 maple to a 14x4.5 metal to a 14 Ludwig black beauty. All three were huge upgrades. I would recommend anyone to at least try them. I believe you will be blown away.

MF pinged me to write a review of this, so here it is. Evans makes a good product. Particularly for a snare side head, not a better (or worse) product than Remo or Aquarian. With batter heads, someone may prefer the sound of, say, Remo Pinstripes over Evans EC2s. But the snare-side head will hardly matter. Get whatever of the "big three" snare-side heads are on sale, or if you like to match, get whatever brand complements the brand of your batter head.
